Fumaric acid
Fumaric acid, chemically denoted as C₄H₄O₄. is a type of dicarboxylic acid. Synonymous with trans - butenedioic acid, it presents as a white, crystalline powder, odorless and characterized by a distinct sour taste. In nature, it is found in a wide array of plants. For instance, it occurs in grapes, apples, and some root vegetables.
Structurally, it has a planar configuration, with a crucial double bond connecting two carbon atoms. This double - bond arrangement endows fumaric acid with unique chemical properties and reactivity. It plays a fundamental role as an essential within the citric acid cycle,facilitating various biochemical reactions crucial for energy production and other physiological processes.
